        Verdict

        Another headscratcher for punters. My Bold Boyo was in great form earlier in the season on a faster surface. He is sure to be well supported here but the handicapper has taken few chances. On old form, Happy Change would be an absolute stand-out. While the rating of 91 is generous for a horse of such ability, he is reportedly difficult to train and has had serious injury problems in the past. If there is any money for him (he was previously owned by a tipping service) - this should be followed. The TEAMtalk selection is Needwood Lion. He was the winner of a better contest at Hereford last week and if he feels no ill-effects, he should be good enough to defy a penalty. La Colina raced over an inadequate trip at Market Rasen and looks the most likely danger to Venetia Williams' horse.
